MISCELLANY. Prescott, the Itlnitl Historian. The last work of this distinguished writer, his History of the Conquest of Peru, is repre sented to be ns creditable to his reputation ns ‘either his ‘'Ferdinand und Isabella” or his j “Conquest of Mexico.” We. observe that it is very highly ro amended in the July num ber ol Blackwood’s. The United States may well he proud of a citizen who has thus ue quired ft cosmopolitan fame.—And when we I consider the remarkable disadvantage under j which he has laboured in all his researches, ; jof being nearly blind it is impossible to with- ; hold the warmest admiration of his noble per- I J severance. In his Preface to the Conquest of ! Peru, he thus touchingly describes the diffi- j ; culties he has had to encounter from the im- ! perfection ofhis vision.— Rich<nonil Tim**. ‘‘Before closing these remarks I may be per- ‘ mitted to add a few lines of a personal nature. ! |ln several foreign notices of iny waitings the J author has been said to he blind; and more j , than once I have had the credit of having lost i my sight in the composition of my first history. ! When I have met with such erroneous ac- j counts I hnve hastened to correct them. But the present occasion affords me the best means of doing so; and I am the more desirous of this as l fear some of my own remarks, in tlie pre face to my former history have led to tlie mis take. \\ bile nt the University I received an iniu ry in one of my eyes which deprived me of the sight of it. The other, soon after was attack ed by inflammation so severely that for some time I lost sight of that also; and. though it was subsequently restored the organ was so j much disordered as to remain perm mently ; debilitated while twice in my li r e since I have been deprived of the use of it for all purpose* of und writing for several ’ years together. It was during one of these periods thru I received from Madrid (he mate rials for the ‘IJi.-tory of Ferdinand and Isabel la.’and in my disabled condition, with my transatlantic treasures lying around me I was j like one pining from hunger in the midst of abundance. In this state. I resolved to make : the ear. if possible, do the work of the eye.— I procured the the sendees of a secretary, who : read to nte the various authorities; and in time I became so (hr familiar with the sound of tlie ditlerent foreign languages, (to some of which, ! indeed I had been previously accustomed by a residence abroad.) that I could comprehend his reading without much difficulty. Ar the reader proceeded I dictated copious notes : and when these had swelled to a considerable a mount. they were read to me repeatedly, till I ’ had mastered their contents sufficiently (or the purpose of composition. Tlie same notes fur nished an easy means of reference to sustain ! tlie text. •Still another difficulty occurred in the me chanical labor of writing, which I found a se vere trial to the eye. This was remedied by means ofa writing case, such ns is used by the blind, which enabled me to commit my thougts to paper without the aid of sight ser -1 ving me equally well in the light.—The ehar j aeters thus formed made a near approach to hieroglyphics ; but my secretary became ex pert in the arl of deciphering, and a fair copy— , with a liberal allowance tor unavoidable blun ders —was transcribed for the use of the priti- I ter. I have described the prongs with more i minuteness, as some curiosity has been repeat edly expressed in reference to my modu* oper avrli under my privations, and the knowledge of it nitty be oi’ some assistance to others in similar sirrumstances. •Though 1 was encouraged by the sensible i progress oi iny work it was necessarily slow. | nut in time the tendency to inflammation dim i ashed, and the strength of the eye was confir med more and more. It was at length so far j restored that 1 could read for several hours of ’ the day, though my labots , u tins way an sitrily terminated with daylight. Nor could 1 ever dispense with the services of a secretary or with the writing case; for contrary to the | usual experience, I have found ivri'ing a se verer trial to the eye than reading— a remark, however, which docs not apply to tlie reading of manuscript; and to enable myself, there fore to revise my composition more carefully, [caused a copy of the ‘History of Ferdinand and Isabella, to he printed for my own inspec tion. before it was sent to press lor publication. .Such ns I have described was the improved . state of my health during the preparation of the ‘Conquest of Mexico,’ and. satisfied with ’ being raised so nearly ton level with the rest ol mv species. I searely envied the superior good fortune ofthose who could prolong their studies into the evening and the later hours or ue utgitk. • But a change has again taken place during the last two years. Tlie sight of my eye has i become gradually dimmed, while (he seusi tulity of the nerve has been so far increased 1 that for several weeks of the last year I I uve not opened a volume; ami through the whole i time I have not had the use of it. of an aver- I age. for more than an hour a day. Nor can 1 cheer myself with the delusive expectation that impaired as the organ has become Irani , having been tasked probably beyond its strength, it can ever renew its youth, or he ol ‘much service to me hereafter in my literary , researches. Whether I shall have the heart to enter as I had proposed on anew and more extensive field of historical labor, with these impediments. I cannot say. Perhaps long hab it, and a natural desire to follow up tlie career whirhl have so long pursued, may make this in a manner necessary, as my past experience lias already proved that it is practicable. “From this statement —too long, I fear, lor his patience —the reader, who finds any ruri | osity about the matter, will understand the i real extent of my embarrassments in my his ’ toricul pursuits. That they have not been I very light will be readily admitted, when it is considered that I have had but a limited use | of my eye, in its best state, and that much of I the time 1 have been debarred from the use •altogether. Yet the difficulties I have to Con tend with are very far inferior to those which , fill to the lot ofa blind mini. I know of no historian, now ulive, who can claim tlie glory of having overcome such obstacles but the , author ot “La Coquette de I’ Angleterre pur | les Nommndsj” who, to use his own touching I and beautiful language, “has made himself ’ the friend of darkness;” and who. to n profound philosophy that requires no light hut that 1 from within, unites u ciipncity lor extensive i and vurioUM research that might well demand | the severest application of the student.” Tlie Si lence of Dilitniuii. ‘I sny, Jacques, this dunning is easily re duced to a science und art.

A ludicrous scene occurred the other day in Anthony street, near where the new theatre is in course of construction, which if a brief description may convey an adequate impres sion ot it, is well worth telling. One of the laborers growing thirsty under the influence of a hot sun, went hastily over to the nearest hydrant for a drink, and clap ping his capacious mouth to the spout. imbib ed the Croton just as it came in the most lorciblc and plenteous manner imaginable.— Hardly had ooor Paddy, however, tasted the gushing flood that distended his cheeks when lit strati and bolt upright and. with a look of agonized horror commenced a series of pun • tomitnie contortions which were absolutely painful to witness. “Ow—ow—ugh !”he groaned convulsively, at the same time clawing at hia throat in a frenzied manner, while be spirted the water forth again with the energy of n wounded W’liale ; then suddenly recovering the use of his speech he shouted— Och, inurthrr! but he’s i/one ; it’s all over wid me now 1” hat’s gone !” exclaimed ti: ■ crowd that hud gathered around him. “What's gone 1” “I’ve swallowed him !Oh howly St. Pat rick !—l’ve swallowed him !’’ “And what the deuce is’t ye’ve ■wallowed?” ‘•A snake!” A murthering snake! oh. how ly St. Patrick protect me !” “Sure, then, ye’ve made a savin’o’ yer din ner!” said a fellow laborer, more alive to fun than sympathy; while n shout of mingled laughter and incredulity followed, in which even the poor sufferer could hardly refrain from joining. “But was it alive man?’’ inquired a sym pathetic individual when the confusion subs, ded. “Alive, did ye say ! By the blessed powers ye don’t think that I’d he alter ating him dead Alive, as it is! and did’t he jump down nn throat in spite o’ me teeth?” Then clappin his hands to his stomach, he exclaimed “Och. hone, he’s squirming now! Oh how'. St. Patrick! O why did’t ye do yer woi intircly, and kill the snakes m this murthering country, too ? —Help ! he’ll bite the inside me ! Oh, howly Moses ! Help! murthe. i tire! and poor l’at, distracted by fear, c t more capers than a Camanche at a war dance. “Tut,tut! Be quiet, man!” returned ano | ther. “how do you know it was a snake ?” “How does I know, it is? Didn’t I lb: him wiggling his tale ? oh, howly St. Pntri. j deliver me!” A benevolent looking gentleman heressf;u f ; I gested that it might possibly be a fish or per haps an eel; and remarked that there ought to be a filter attached to every hydrant in the. city ns tiie water is full of all sorts of animal cule, etc. “It’s an ail!” shouted a hodmnn. catching at the idea. “Mike, it’s an ail! Run for a phnlter. and ye’ll catch the rascal prisintly.” “A filter! a filter!” was the general cry. “Run, Mike, for a filter!” Without pausing to inquire into the feasibility of using tiie arti cle in question for the purpose desired, the poor distracted son of Erin strated with the speed of a race horse for tiie office in Broad : way where the figure of Hebe standing in ! tfie window ‘pours her never ceasing fount.” A what d’ye call’em!” crid he, rushing tVixntu ally into the establishment. j “A snake catcher, for the love of !

And. with sundry other resolutions which would huve shocked the ears of a temporal’ man. poor Mike, pule mid trembling with ex haustion, returned to his work. Noble t onduct and Hard Pate. Wo heard a day or two since the story of a hard-working, Irish servant girl, who having u nmssed the sum of SlUOlrom her scanty earn ings, sent the whole of it to her lather, rootii.. mid sister in Ireland, with a message desire’ them to come into this city, where she would provide for then) a more comfortable boim than their straitened circumstance* would 1 permit them to enjoy in their .native island.— : Word came over to her that they would cm bark immediately.
